Bezi's labneh is spreadable and dippable, and ready to share its creamy, rich texture with just the right amount of tanginess to consumers beyond the Middle East. Prepared with strained yogurt, labneh is naturally thick and as Bezi puts it, "infinitely enjoyable."
Labneh's richness, creaminess and tangy taste, and Bezi's all-natural, protein-packed, non-GMO recipe made without added sugar, offers a wholesome and versatile option for health-conscious consumers. With its nutritional benefits and irrisistible texture, labneh has the potential to achieve widespread popularity, much like hummus, as more people seek nutritious, flavorful alternatives for dips and spreads.
To introduce this Mediterranean-style yogurt cheese to consumers in the United States, Bezi offers fun flavors like savory Everything (bagel) and bright Red Pepper. Bezi debuts in New York City grocery stores this September.
